About this ebook
Think bullies were mean to you?
Imagine what it would have been like if you had a "different" face.
When Dawn has a fast-growing tumor removed shortly after birth, it not only reshapes the left half of her face, leaving it deconstructed and paralyzed; it reshapes her entire life. Her journey of self-discovery and accept
Dawn Shaw
Author and motivational speaker Dawn Shaw understands adversity and the value of diversity. She was born with a rare tumor, the removal of which left her face half paralyzed, so she grew up looking "different." Despite the insecurities and unfair treatment this sometimes brings, she became an expert on resilience, learning to accept and even embrace her difference. Her inspiring memoir "Facing Up to It" shares her stories and experiences during her own challenging journey, while "Friending the Mirror" offers specific instructions on how you, too, can overcome insecurity and loneliness, finding beauty through happiness. She hosts an online series called "Friending the Mirror" which addresses appearance related issues. Dawn currently lives in Washington state with her husband of 19 years, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and a variable number of Icelandic horses.
